Hi there! I’m a grandma, happily married, with one lovely child. Welcome to Simply Grandma Recipes. Our little family is full of fun and laughter, especially during our weekend baking sessions.
My grandchild is six and has the silliest giggles. We love baking cookies together; he always ends up with flour on his nose! Every mess is a memory, and we treasure every crumb.
I have a soft spot for collecting quirky aprons. They make baking feel extra special, plus they protect my clothes from flying flour and chocolate! My kitchen feels cozy and full of life.
My family is my heart. Seeing my grandkid’s smile when we bake or cook fills me with so much joy. I cherish these moments and love sharing our kitchen adventures with all of you on my blog!
How I Got the Idea to Start My Blog
The idea for Simply Grandma Recipes bloomed from my family’s love and encouragement. My grandchild, with flour-dusted giggles, kept asking, “Grandma, can we share our cookie stories with everyone?” That little nudge planted the seed to share our baking adventures.
At first, I hesitated. I wasn’t too tech-savvy, and the thought of starting a blog seemed daunting. I wondered if anyone would enjoy our simple kitchen joys as much as we did. I almost let that fear stop me from starting.
But then, my husband, with his comforting words, said, “You do this with love. Others will see that too.” His belief in me was the push I needed. With his and my grandchild’s encouragement, I decided to take the leap and share our stories.
The biggest challenge was figuring out consistent posting and capturing the perfect photo of our creations. It was a learning curve, but every mistake was a stepping stone. Slowly, I began to find my rhythm in the blogging world.
Pinterest seemed like the ideal place for my recipes. It’s where people like us come together over a shared love for food. I knew it was perfect to connect with others who could appreciate the cozy and delicious joy of baking with family.
Despite the initial hurdles, I kept going with my family’s support and joy in every baking adventure. The journey has been heartwarming and rewarding—thanks to my family’s gentle push and love!
My Daily Routine and Cooking Adventures
Every day is a new adventure in my kitchen! I start my mornings with a cup of tea and a little planning. I always set aside time for cooking, especially with my grandchild. We make the best memories together while whipping up our favorite treats!
When I choose recipes to share, I think about what makes my family smile. We love baking cookies or trying out seasonal dishes, especially if they have a fun twist. I just love sharing those yummy creations that bring joy to our table!
Preparing the recipes is my happy place! I take it slow, making sure everything tastes just right. I enjoy measuring ingredients and mixing them together, soaking in every delightful moment. Cooking is a mix of love and laughter for us!
Food photography is like a little game for me! I try to capture our delicious creations using natural light. I find fun spots in my kitchen to show off our goodies. It’s a wonderful challenge to make everything look as tasty as it is!
